Hi,all just purchased this tin today for 45 bucks. I'm no expert but seems to be in very good condition considering age. My questions are the value on my side of the pond (Canada) and its scarcity, only found one like it online. Bigwull has probably had a few of these in his days. Sorry can only send one sideways pic at a time:)

More pics

To listen to ya..anyone would think that,i,m a toffee muncher...and maybe a fat B to boot.....i,ll have you know...i,ve lost nearly 3st....now..if you were to buy yourself something a bit more luxurious...like... Dark chocolate...with 80% cocoa......then...i would,nt mind you mentioning me....but cream toffee....no thanks....plays havoc with ma false teeth.... ;D
-
Yup, saw that one coming!! So did I do ok on the tin, it comes from your stomping grounds. You know more than me.

Afraid Wullie is correct, would have been better had it been full!!! The condition of yours is amazingly good!
The ones that command a higher price are painted to resemble the tin being in a bird (parrot) cage!
-
Now what makes a tin command a high price anyways? Never understood this area. I have sold some old coffee tins for a decent price but not sure what makes one more interesting to people than an other?
-
Icedgold I guess it is whatever turns your crank:) for me I like tobacco tins, this one caught my eye for the graphics, Sir Kreemy Knut smoking a cigarette on a candy tin!! You don't see that now of days,even popeye had to quit! And the condition for being almost a hundred years old.

Over here in the UK....up to the late 60,s/70,s...there was a brand of coffee that had a sign that had been used for nigh on a hundred years....but the company were forced to abandon it...because it was deemed Racist...by the Muslim & Sikh...minority.... the company at first tried to appease them...by...removin g the tray and the cup...but had the servant remain standing,....but eventually they had to make it look as if the servant and the Highlander soldier were equals...see pics of 1st ..2nd and 3rd pics...We have a clock that has the 2nd pic as the background....we got it in a charity shop for £8..around 2 months ago....and i,ve since refused £45 for it...If some of the original bottles can be found..then they do sell well......don,t know what happened here..with these multiple pics...but as you can see ..now they are equal....
-
This is the clock we have...So Buddie...you like tobacco tins do you....well what do you think of this one...its now 43 years old...and i,ve had it from the day it was done...its Jail art....it started out as a throat lozenge tin...Strepsils,..I covered it in matchsticks...then got a guy who was a very good artist...to draw on the pics..my fav Rock bands....he used felt tip pens...when it was finished..i varnished it....
-
Cool tin,I like it, King Crimson:)

Well, like I said earlier, whatever turns your crank ;) Those probably cost a pretty penny :o
-
They are a bit pricey. I saw her on her last tour and she puts on a great show. This one I have to go out of state for so thinking it may add up. I'm sure this is her last tour though figuring she is 67 years-old now. lol

when you see it along side the album cover...its almost as if it was a transfer....but..i watched the guy copy it free hand...and all he had at his disposal..was 5 coloured felt tip pens...He charged me a 1/2oz of tobacco....over the years i,ve had many offers for it....as it is unique...and...i think its safe to say..there is,nt another one on the planet.....and is,nt it nice that the band...who,s album it is...have your initials ..King Crimson...here is the original cover...
